Also I don't expect anyone else to support Newcastle in Europe. Rivalries in domestic competitions pervade through into other competitions. Why the hell would I support Sunderland in Europe for example (which may in fact happen MACKEM :P) when I detest them domestically.

Would Arsenal support Spurs in Europe? Would Liverpool support Man U? If an English team wins on the continent it just gives them something else to rub in the face of all their domestic rivals. Did I like it when Man U won the European Cup - no I didn't. Why? Because I don't want any team to be better than the one I support, particularly a rival team.

Booing players for England is a different matter however.
